consultation between the GAC and Board in San Francisco in two weeks' time. This was announced by a Board resolution last month, but GAC members don't seem to accept that as binding. * Peter Dengate Thrush<http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/03/02/transcript-icann-gac-board#thrush5> * Heather Dryden<http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/03/02/transcript-icann-gac-board#dryden2> * Mark Carvell<http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/03/02/transcript-icann-gac-board#carvell2> Quick discussion about Board and GAC working together and on the JAS report aimed at helping developing countries * Katim Touray<http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/03/02/transcript-icann-gac-board#touray1> * Sri Lanka<http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/03/02/transcript-icann-gac-board#srilanka1> * Sebastien Bachollet<http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/03/02/transcript-icann-gac-board#bachollet1>: ICANN Board member * Germany<http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/03/02/transcript-icann-gac-board#germany1> * Ray Plzak<http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/03/02/transcript-icann-gac-board#plzak1>: ICANN Board director * Bertrand de la Chapelle<http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/03/02/transcript-icann-gac-board#chapelle1>: ICANN Board director Coversation moves back to Board-GAC bylaws discussion. The GAC sent a letter to the Board the previous night that seemingly said that discussion in San Francisco would not be considered by the GAC as the bylaws-mandated discussion where the ICANN Board can formally disagree with the GAC and move forward. The conversation gets a little heated. * Peter Dengate Thrush<http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/03/02/transcript-icann-gac-board#thrush6> * Heather Dryden<http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/03/02/transcript-icann-gac-board#dryden2> * Peter Dengate Thrush<http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/03/02/transcript-icann-gac-board#thrush7> * Suzanne Sene<http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/03/02/transcript-icann-gac-board#sene1>: US government rep * Rita Rodin Johnson<http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/03/02/transcript-icann-gac-board#rodin2> * Heather Dryden<http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/03/02/transcript-icann-gac-board#dryden3> * Rita Rodin Johnson<http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/03/02/transcript-icann-gac-board#rodin3> * Peter Dengate Thrush<http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/03/02/transcript-icann-gac-board#thrush8> * Heather Dryden<http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/03/02/transcript-icann-gac-board#dryden4> * Peter Dengate Thrush<http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/03/02/transcript-icann-gac-board#thrush9> Various efforts are made to bridge the gap between Board and GAC and prevent the meeting from falling apart. * Bertrand de la Chapelle<http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/03/02/transcript-icann-gac-board#chapelle2> * Portugal<http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/03/02/transcript-icann-gac-board#portugal1> * Mike Silber<http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/03/02/transcript-icann-gac-board#silber1>: ICANN Board member Issue moves to how long it will take GAC members to arrive at decisions. * Kenya<http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/03/02/transcript-icann-gac-board#kenya1> * Malta<http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/03/02/transcript-icann-gac-board#malta1> * Bruce Tonkin<http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/03/02/transcript-icann-gac-board#tonkin2> * Heather Dryden<http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/03/02/transcript-icann-gac-board#dryden5> Board members stress that both Board and GAC are *already* in the bylaws-mandated discussion. * Bruce Tonkin<http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/03/02/transcript-icann-gac-board#tonkin3> * Heather Dryden<http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/03/02/transcript-icann-gac-board#dryden6> * Bruce Tonkin<http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/03/02/transcript-icann-gac-board#tonkin4> * Denmark<http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/03/02/transcript-icann-gac-board#denmark1> * Erika Mann<http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/03/02/transcript-icann-gac-board#mann1>: ICANN Board member * Heather Dryden<http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/03/02/transcript-icann-gac-board#dryden7> * Rita Rodin Johnson<http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/03/02/transcript-icann-gac-board#rodin4> GAC members push back strongly on efforts by the Board to move the process along faster. * Portugal<http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/03/02/transcript-icann-gac-board#portugal2> * Mark Carvell<http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/03/02/transcript-icann-gac-board#carvell3> * Bill Dee<http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/03/02/transcript-icann-gac-board#dee3> * Senegal<http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/03/02/transcript-icann-gac-board#senegal1> * Suzanne Sene<http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/03/02/transcript-icann-gac-board#sene2> Second round of efforts made to end meeting on a positive note. * Gonzalo Navarro<http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/03/02/transcript-icann-gac-board#navarro1>: ICANN Board member * Netherlands<http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/03/02/transcript-icann-gac-board#netherlands1> * Bruce Tonkin<http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/03/02/transcript-icann-gac-board#tonkin5> * Heather Dryden<http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/03/02/transcript-icann-gac-board#dryden8> * Peter Dengate Thrush<http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/03/02/transcript-icann-gac-board#thrush10> [End of meeting] ________________________________
